As with many things in lifetime is always on the side of truth. Deception and avoidance cannot hide facts forever.
If one listened to the evidence presented at the Public Order Emergency Commission (POEC) by Prime Minister Trudeau it was clear his credibility at least is questionable. Justice Rouleau should have, on more than one occasion, raised an eyebrow or two.
Prior to Trudeau implementing the EA the Police Forces involved with the Freedom protest advised they had a plan to end what they considered an insurrection. Yet in discussions between Government and the Police no one thought to ask RCMP Comm Lucki what her plan was. Add to this Trudeau stating, when asked about the document “it was not even, in the most generous of characterizations, a plan.” Amazingly, Trudeau later admitted he never read the plan submitted by the Law Enforcement agencies.
In order for the Government to invoke the EA there are two questions that must be answered. Once again for anyone who followed the testimony during the POEC, especially that of David Vigneault, head of CSIS, that the events surrounding the Freedom Convoy did not meet the definition set out for a National Emergency. Yet Vigneault still advised Trudeau to invoke the EA after receiving a legal opinion from the Justice department that the EA uses a broader definition than the CSIS Act, even though the EA references the CSIS Act. And again, Trudeau will not release the legal opinion from the Justice Department. And these doubts are only on the first question of which must be satisfied prior to invoking the EA.
Prime Minister, in his closing remarks of the POEC, stated that “politics was not the motivation at all” for invoking the EA. His motivations were entirely about ensuring the safety of Canadians, allowing Canadians to continue to have confidence in their institutions and to enforce the rule of law.
When one fully digests Trudeau’s testimony the only conclusion is the entire invoking of the EA was entirely political and one of convenience. The truth is never far away.
